Delhi government asks DDA, MCD to get the flats registered

New Delhi: With an aim to provide relief to people living in builder houses, Delhi government has asked land owning agencies - including DDA and the civic bodies – to ensure builders register the properties and not indulge in builder buyer agreement.

Chief Secretary K K Sharma yesterday held a meeting in this regard. A senior government official said there were an estimated 200 towers on prime land in Delhi where developers were given land on lease by agencies like DDA, L&DO and MCD.

The official also said there were several properties, including commercial and residential, on lease but developers have sold and re-sold them to others through a mutual agreement with buyers, but they did not register property which has not only resulted in revenue loss to the government but even buyers have not got a proper title which often result in property dispute later.
